Joshua Bennett holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from from Virginia Commonwealth University. While there he was the recipient of a Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Fellowship among other awards. After receiving his degree he went on to work as a set builder on Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," AMC's "Turn" and numerous theatrical productions. His experience as a prop-maker and set-builder along with his education in fine art make him a multi-talented and dynamic creator, ready to design or build with equal proficiency.
Joshua's work bridges a variety of genres: set-design, furniture design, large outdoor sculpture and more. His use of materials is equally varied: ranging from foam and resin to steel and wood. In his own words, he works in the medium he needs to. His love of making extends to his private life, where he maintains an extensive collection of vintage how-to books and manuals.

For Bed ProjectWe commissioned Joshua to make a twin size bed for our son in solid cherry wood. Joshua designed a lovely bed that included metal trim painted a deep red. The bed arrived yesterday and it is beautiful!
Joshua modified his original design based on our feedback and was great throughout the entire process. We plan to use him again for another project.
I highly recommend him.
